About this Contest 📸
In honor of 130 years of First National Bank of Milaca (FNB) in 2027, we are going to create a special community calendar! Your picture of the Milaca, Isle, Gilman or Zimmerman community could be part of this calendar! The photographers who take the 12 pictures selected for the calendar will receive $130 per photo selected. In addition, one winner will receive $1,300 for the “best photo” category as selected by FNB’s Facebook followers.
We want to thank our communities and showcase the people and places we've come to know and love. Whether you are a customer, a business, community member, or visitor of our Milaca, Isle, Gilman or Zimmerman communities, you can enter the photo contest for a chance to win cash and a place in our 2027 FNB Calendar!
We Want to See Your...
The goal is to get pictures from each of the areas we serve, showing the communities and their beautiful locations while keeping different seasons in mind with the month the photo will be used in the calendar.
Favorite Space
Photo submissions to this category should showcase your favorite small business within our community (Milaca, Isle, Gilman, or Zimmerman). Think coffee shops, greenhouses, or your favorite restaurant.
Role in Our Communities
Photo submissions to this category should highlight contributions to the community (Milaca, Isle, Gilman, or Zimmerman) such as volunteerism, local small businesses at work, our recreational areas in action, or other ways you may connect to the community. Whether it is coaching little league, helping local non-profit, or serving up the community's best menu items, we want to see it.
This is an amateur photo contest, go ahead, get out there and capture a community moment or dig into your favorite archives, no matter your experience behind the camera.
